vz 2008 folding stock removal

[dohc97]

I just got a replacement for my folding stock but I am not able to remove the folding stock. I tried heating it up, squirting the big screw with WD 40 Specialist rust removal oil, but no success. Oh, I also bought a socket set to use in removing this screw.

To those who have replace their folding stocks, how did you remove it?

Look inside the receiver. Did they pean the threads or anything? I have a czechpoint - it simply unscrews (I actually need to put a dab of loctite on it as it unscrews TOO easily.)

did you heat up the screw itself?

yes, I applied heat to the screw itself.

try heating around the bolt, not the bolt itself. You made the bolt expand, which could be useful if there was a layer of rust but since it is a new rifle that is unlikely

YouTube is your friend...plenty of videos on this.

If you can securely support the receiver, you might try a handheld hammer-on type impact driver such as motor cycle and small engine mechanics often use. If you find you really have to wail on it, try putting a properly cut block of wood or something inside the disassembled receiver to keep from distorting it by hammering. hopefully it won't require that kind of force. If your socket set driver doesn't match the size of that large screw, try an auto parts store and ask for an old-style truck "drag-link" socket like this one

You can grind it if necessary to an exact fit.
